This course offers an introduction to pedagogical techniques and theories for teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). The class is ideal for students considering a career in K-12 education, as the number of students whose first language is not English is rising in the US every year. Students enrolled in this course will gain practical experience by committing to volunteer with an organization working with English Language Learners (options will be provided). They are encouraged, but not required, to continue their service afterward with the Wes ELL Program. There is a volunteering commitment of two hours/week, or 20 hours a semester, minimum during the semester.
